Gucci Piggy Posted October 22, 2015 Report Share Posted October 22, 2015 I just thought that at Reading (2 piece) they were a lot more effective than at Glastonbury (5 piece)Did you miss all the posts telling you they were a 5-piece at Reading...?

rawaudioinput Posted October 22, 2015 Report Share Posted October 22, 2015 Would rather see a headline set from Richard KeysI think he'd smash it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andre91 Posted October 22, 2015 Report Share Posted October 22, 2015 Skepta could sub the NME and pack that tent out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oneoftherest Posted October 22, 2015 Report Share Posted October 22, 2015 Wiley had a number one in 2012, so he's had hits since he broke out. My point with Rolex Sweep was that Skeptas got old hits aswell as new ones. Still waiting on Konichiwa too He's selling out Academy's by himself anywayanyway, BBK could Deffo do NME Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oneoftherest Posted October 22, 2015 Report Share Posted October 22, 2015 Agreed Andre, he's a hyoe act right now aswell so I think they'd be silly to miss out on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oneoftherest Posted October 22, 2015 Report Share Posted October 22, 2015 They were booked for the dance stage slot before a lot of the hype began tooI think shutdown ended up being bigger than they expected it to be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrtourette Posted October 23, 2015 Report Share Posted October 23, 2015 Integrity> was an OK album at best but it's the ridiculous amount of hype that'll get JME/Skepta places. Hell, if they put JME/Skepta together they could do 3rd on MainSTEP ASIDE NEUTRAL MILK HOTEL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GodlikeYeezus Posted October 23, 2015 Report Share Posted October 23, 2015 (edited) Jake Bugg was subbed NME and then subbed the Main Stage next year. Surely thats a bigger jump that BBK headlining the dance to Skepta - JME headlining the NME. They are massive. I hate comparing things but yeah they could Edited October 23, 2015 by GodlikeYeezus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oneoftherest Posted October 24, 2015 Report Share Posted October 24, 2015 Surprising BMTH arent headlining Download, anyone reckon that makes them anymore likely for Leeds? I don't see them taking anymore sub slotsAlso on the Skepta note, just seen he sold out Brixton in 3 hours, thats thats pretty maf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dentalplan Posted October 24, 2015 Report Share Posted October 24, 2015 (edited) BMTH subbed this year so they're not gonna headline next year, if that's what you mean. Edited October 24, 2015 by dentalplan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun182 Posted October 24, 2015 Report Share Posted October 24, 2015 If Foals headline next year, which it looks like they probably will, I hope they get Sum 41 to headline the pit/lockup stage that same day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justanothername Posted October 25, 2015 Report Share Posted October 25, 2015 The new EP from Modern Baseball is mint. They have to make up dropping out this year. Also The Front Bottoms would be sick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oneoftherest Posted October 25, 2015 Report Share Posted October 25, 2015 It's weird this year because there is no stand out obvious headliner, its very open, last year we kinda knew it was gonna be Libertines and late on we knew itd be Mumford and SonsI'd say foals are probably the only one that we all think might happen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanielM17 Posted October 25, 2015 Report Share Posted October 25, 2015 I'm currently sitting at Muse, Red Hot Chili Peppers and Foals, with Florence having a chance too but I feel she might do T and V/IOW/BST. Not really thinking of many others beyond those tbh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dentalplan Posted October 25, 2015 Report Share Posted October 25, 2015 There are rumours o'plenty that RHCP will be doing festivals earlier on in the summer. Not to say that'd rule out coming back later in summer but I could see 'em just doing a big MK Bowl/Knebworth gig in June and calling it at that for UK.I have bumped them out of my prediction for Muse, who do seem an obvious candidate. Uncertain as to what's going on with Kanye and starting to believe Biffy will come back too. Think Foals/Biffy/Muse would be a good set with the R+L audience.

DanielM17 Posted October 25, 2015 Report Share Posted October 25, 2015 I just don't see the cause for Biffy coming back so soon, as I mentioned a few days ago. Muse are an obvious choice to me, Foals will probably do it and the last is the main issue for discussion imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FloorFiller Posted October 25, 2015 Report Share Posted October 25, 2015 I just don't see the cause for Biffy coming back so soon, as I mentioned a few days ago. Muse are an obvious choice to me, Foals will probably do it and the last is the main issue for discussion imo. how i feel about it too. Biffy coming back after three years seems pointless, and would weaken an already weakish set of headliners (what with Foals making the step up). think the third will be somebody who's either not done it for a while or not done it at all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanielM17 Posted October 25, 2015 Report Share Posted October 25, 2015 Yeah, there are enough people who question Foals as headliners without bringing Biffy back so early too. I can see the third (presuming Foals and Muse) being just a solid, typical R+L older act. RHCP fit the bill, although dentalplan's rumours could put a spanner in those works.

dentalplan Posted October 25, 2015 Report Share Posted October 25, 2015 As much as I think their headlining days are numbered; Biffy headlining their perfect festival on possibly one of the first major shows of a new album wouldn't strike me as weak at all, regardless of when they last played.

ellaboz Posted October 25, 2015 Report Share Posted October 25, 2015 is anyone else thinking 5SOS? As much as I dislike them, they seem pretty likely for a headliner. They've got a new album just out, the hype surrounding them is absolutely massive and they're DESPERATE to be taken seriously as a "punk"/"alternative" band, surely R&L would help with their "we play pop music but we're not a pop band!! we're so punk!!!" image. Plus, they've done basically no festivals since exploding onto the scene, R&L seems like the place to start before moving onto the likes of V and Glasto? My only other predictions (considering nothing but the fact they'll have new material and there's a lack of summer touring schedule) are Tonight Alive, The 1975 and State Champs.
